The game is fun but a little on the difficult side.
Me and my wife enjoyed it a lot and are definitely going to try questo more in other cities

What a great way to spend a few hours exploring Gastown and its history! My daughter and I had a blast interpreting the clues...some more criptic than others, but would highly recommend to locals and tourists alike.

This was a fun way to check out GasTown in Vancouver. We had a bit of trouble downloading the game onto more than one phone so we all had to share. Also, we got hung up on one clue and there was no way to continue. But still fun for a few hours of exploring.
